"curved, organic looking" floating out of payload bay during time on Space Shuttle Atlantis

Former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin tweeted that he saw something “curved, organic looking” floating out of the payload bay during his time on the space shuttle Atlantis.

He told NASA about it, but the agency told him that what he was seeing was not an extraterrestrial but a piece of ice.

“I have not seen one in space or on the ground but thought I saw something organic/alien like floating out of the payload bay,” Melvin tweeted, when asked by the Twitter account UFO Sightings Daily what his thoughts were on extraterrestrial life or if he had ever seen a UFO.

“@AstroKomrade and I called the ground to ask what it could be and it was ice that had broken off of the Freon hoses. Translucent, curved, organic looking👽”
